Allah is Eternally Besought of all

Suratun-Nisaaa’  (The Women) – Chapter – 4)

BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

إِنيَشَأْ يُذْهِبْكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ وَيَأْتِ بِـَٔاخَرِينَ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ قَدِيرًا 133

مَّن كَانَ يُرِيدُ ثَوَابَ ٱلدُّنْيَا فَعِندَ ٱللَّهِ ثَوَابُ ٱلدُّنْيَاوَٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ سَمِيعًۢا بَصِيرًا (134

133.  If He will, He can remove you, O people, and bring others (in your stead). And Allah is Able to do that. 134.  Whoso desireth the reward of the world, (let him know that) with Allah is reward of the world and the Hereafter. And Allah is ever Hearer, Seer.

133.  ‘Iny-yasha’  yuz-hibkum  ‘ayyu-hannaasu  wa  ya’-ti  bi-‘aakhariin.  Wa  kaanAllaahu  ‘alaa  zaalika  Qadiiraa.  134.  Man  kaana  yu-riidu  sawaa-baddunyaa  wal-‘aakhirah.  Wa  kaanAllaahu  Samii-‘am-  Basiiraa.

    Commentary

Yuz-hibu – (can remove), it has been derived from ‘az-haab origin, which means ‘to remove, to bring away’.

It was told in the previous lesson that Allah Almighty does not have any concern with it, if either anybody obeys Him or otherwise, because He is Independent and Lord of the entire creatures which exist in the heavens and the earth. Nothing is deficient for Him, for which He might be necessitous of others’ help. However, the humankind is needy from beginning to end. And human beings are not able to get every necessary/required thing without support of others. They are weak; therefore, they need to save themselves. They remain frightened from many things as fear of loss of the wealth, property and their own lives. Their knowledge is inexpert, therefore sometimes; they do usually such works, which hurt them. So they have need of such a person, who has more knowledge than them.

Who can be their more helper, supporter and guide than Allah Almighty? Human weakness of intellect and indigence wants that it should make someone it’s such a protector and auxiliary companion, who should have those all perfect powers, strength and qualities, which it does not have in itself. If somebody has only a little wisdom, then he can understand that there is none but Allah Almighty, Who can be Defender, Guard, Helper and Guide.

It has been mentioned in this verse that if Allah Almighty would have been desirous of those people, who obey Him or fear Him, then He Is Empower to remove those persons from the world, who disobey Him and bring into being such people, who would remain standing in tying their hands position before Him and they would never disobey Him.  

Remember! If you will disobey to your Lord Almighty, He is Able to annihilate you and Produce His obedient servants at your place in the world. But He does not care that who believes in Him and who disobeys. He has kept ready everything with Him. The person, who wishes riches, He may give him wealth, and who wants Hereafter, He will bestow him ease and comfort of the Doomsday. It is His Will to provide you option, and give fruit of intention and desire of every person. He is Hearer and Seer of everything. Nothing is hidden from Him.

Fear of Allah

Suratun-Nisaaa’  (The Women) – Chapter – 4)

BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

  وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَقَدْ وَصَّيْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ وَإِيَّاكُمْ أَنِ ٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَإِن تَكْفُرُوا۟فَإِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَنِيًّا حَمِيدًا (131

131.  And unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth and We ordained those who received the Scripture before you and (We ordain) you, that ye keep your duty toward Allah. And if ye disbelieve, lo! Unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. And Allah is Ever Absolute, Owner of Praise. 132.  And unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. And Allah is Sufficient as Defender.

    Commentary

Wassay-Naa – (We ordained), it has been derived from taw-siyah, which means “to ordain, to say either about goodness or for giving such thing, in which there is benefit for one, and to advice, to admonish etc.”

Messenger of Allah Almighty, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) has provided a method of living and working in this world for the humankind, which is called Islam. The questions like “what should the human beings think, what should be done by someone, how should one do” have been described very clearly in the Holy Qur’aan, in which there are all kinds of Rules and Regulations for guidance of entire mankind. How to deal mutual matters, how to behave relatives, neighbors, the people living in surroundings and the common people? These entire matters have been explained till now. There is only one thing in the intent of these entire matters, which has been described repeatedly on various occasions and toward which, there is dire need to draw special attention, that is; Bear the remembrance of Allah Almighty in mind every time, Do good works to please Him and Turn away from evil deeds.

It has been told thrice in this verse, “Unto Allah belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth”. In addition, it has been ordained, “Keep the women in a suitable manner, fear from your Lord Almighty and do not trouble them”. As the people before you were instructed, now you are also being commanded, “The essential matter is to fear from Allah Almighty. It is advantageous for your own. Because Allah Almighty is Free, Lord, Eternal and Sublime. He does not need anything. What does He say, that is good for you”. The world used to tyrannize the women and still behaves with them cruelly. Therefore, it has been urged in the Holy Qur’aan again and again to do justice with them. Then it is commanded that Allah Almighty does correct entire problems of that person, who executes His Orders. And His Support is Sufficient because He is Lord of all things. It is the difference between Muslims and non-Muslims that “What the Muslims do that is order of God Almighty, and what they give up, that is due to His fear. Other people have been entangled in their own imaginations and they have forgotten Allah Almighty. If this difference does not stand firm, then Muslims and non-Muslims are equal i.e. all are Disbelievers.

Equity among the wives is necessary

Suratun-Nisaaa’  (The Women) – Chapter – 4)

BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

  وَلَن تَسْتَطِيعُوٓا۟ أَن تَعْدِلُوا۟ بَيْنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتُمْ فَلَا تَمِيلُوا۟ كُلَّ ٱلْمَيْلِفَتَذَرُوهَا كَٱلْمُعَلَّقَةِ وَإِن تُصْلِحُوا۟ وَتَتَّقُوا۟ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا (129

  وَإِن يَتَفَرَّقَا يُغْنِ ٱللَّهُ كُلًّا مِّن سَعَتِهِۦ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعًاحَكِيمًا (130

129.  And Ye will not be able to deal equally between (your) wives, however much ye wish (to do so); but turn not altogether away (from one), leaving her as in suspense. And if ye do good and keep from evil, lo! Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Merciful. 130.  And if they separate, Allah will compensate each out of His abundance. And Allah is ever All-Embracing, All-Knowing.

129.  Wa  lan-  tastatii-‘uuu  ‘an-ta-diluu  baynan-nisaaa-‘i  wa  law  harastum  falaa  tamiiluu  kullal-mayli  fataza-ruuhaa  kal-mu-‘allaqah.  Wa  ‘in  tuslihuu  wa  tattaquu  fa-‘innAllaaha  kaana  Gafuurar-Rahiimaa. 130.  Wa  ‘iny-yata-farraqaa  yug-Nillaahu  kullam-min- sa-‘atih.  Wa  kaanAllaahu  Waasi-‘an  Hakiimaa.

    Commentary

Tastatii-‘uuu – (You will be able to do), it has been derived from ‘ista-taa-‘at, which means ‘to have power, to be able to do’.

Tamiiluu – (you should Lean), it is from ma-ya-la, which means ‘to lean, to connect, to agree, to incline to, to draw attention. The word Miilaan is also from it, which means inclination.

  

Mu-‘allaqatin – (in suspense), its base is ta’-liiq, which means ‘to keep waiting, to postpone, to hang, to suspend’. According to idiomatic meaning, it aims ‘neither the husband causes the wife to dwell at home after marriage, nor sets her free by divorcing’. Islam has taken this state of circumstances as extremely vile act.

Tattaquu – (keep from evil), its origin is ‘ittaqaa’, which has been derived from taqwaa. Taqwaa is “to keep away from the evil, the sobriety and abstinence”. ‘Ittaqaa’ means “to adopt sobriety, to fear from Allah Almighty”.

Before Islam, the Arabians used to marry as much women as they wished. There was no limit for number of marriages. After that they used to ignore them carelessly. Some of them were regarded, but maximum were not contemplated. Islam did not like this act and approved such device, due to which, this prevalence might be finished in the process of time.

First of all, Islam began to correct the marriages from the point that women were raised from their dropped dignity and disciplined the men that they (women) are not mere mindless and lifeless idols for completion of your desires (lust), that you use them as you wish. They are owners of their wealth and property. They have right in the heritage. You would have to accept them as your equal member, partner, helper and supporter in maximum affairs. Then, it has been commanded that you can marry more than one woman with their consent. But you would have to keep all of them comfortably. And remember! It is not in your control to do justice between them. You will find that you are unable to behave your wives equally, although you wished and tried your best. It will never be lawful for you that you incline more towards one side and the other wife or wives are kept waiting (in suspense). If you feel that you are not able to retain, then divorce them. Allah Almighty is Lord of the entire creations. Nothing is deficient near to Him. He will bestow the persons, who are of good intention, too much Mercifully, that they will become free from necessities of one another.

Behavior of husband and wife with each other - Quran Chapter 4 -128 (Pt-5, Stg-1) (L-607) - درس قرآن

Quran Chapter 4- 128 (Pt-5, Stg-1) (L-607) - درس قرآن

Behavior of husband and wife with each other

Suratun-Nisaaa’  (The Women) – Chapter – 4)

BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

وَإِنِٱمْرَأَةٌ خَافَتْ مِنۢ بَعْلِهَا نُشُوزًا أَوْ إِعْرَاضًا فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِمَآ أَن يُصْلِحَا بَيْنَهُمَا صُلْحًا وَٱلصُّلْحُ خَيْرٌ وَأُحْضِرَتِ ٱلْأَنفُسُ ٱلشُّحَّ وَإِنتُحْسِنُوا۟ وَتَتَّقُوا۟ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا (128

128.  If a woman feareth ill treatment from her husband, or desertion, it is no sin for them twain if they make terms of peace between themselves. And peace is better. And greed hath been made present in the minds (of men). And if ye do good and keep away from evil, lo! Allah is ever Aware of what ye do.

128.  Wa  ‘inimra-‘atun  khaafat  mim  ba’-lihaa  nushuuzan  ‘aw  ‘i’-raazan  falaa  junaaha  ‘alay-himaaa  ‘any-yus-lihaa  bay-na  humaa  sulhaa.  Was-Sulhu  khayr. Wa  ‘uh-ziratil-‘anfu-sush-shuh.  Wa  ‘in  tuhsinuu  wa  tattaquu  fa-‘innAllaaha  kaana  bimaa  ta’-maluuna  Khabiiraa.

    Commentary

 ‘Uh-zirat – (has been made present), and kept in front. Its base is ‘Ah-zaar, which means ‘to place before, to make present’. It is made from Hazuur, which means ‘to come near, to appear, to befall’.

Nushuuzan – (displeasure, ill treatment), it aims that if the wife seems that her husband remains dissatisfied a little from her. Disgust and aversion has taken place of love and good treatment, then it is no sin for her, if she comes close to her husband and makes peace with him.

Shuha – (Greed), this word is also used for ‘ambition, avarice and covetousness besides vigorous desire.

Some other forms of behavior with the women and guidance about them have been mentioned in this verse, so that mutual relationship among the twain (husband and wife) may be good. It is commanded that if the wife observes that her life partner lives separately for a few days. His heart is felt revoked from her side, then there is no abashment in it if she adopts suitable policies to reconcile her husband. First of all, greed of wealth has been clung in the heart of everybody. Desire of profit has been attached with life. Therefore, if the wife inclines to reduce some money from her expenditures or becomes ready to lessen some amount from the amount incumbent on her husband (Mehr), then he will assent by beholding his financial benefit. The husband should also get ready to be united after observing the attempt of mutual adjustment from his wife, because welfare is in it that the twain (husband and wife) should live together friendly and with peace mutually. Many causes may be of disposition, but they both should be ready every time to remove the reason of disagreement. If one feels any sign of peace, even a very little, then the other should accept it immediately. It is no sin, if the wife causes to incline her husband and he accepts it. After that, it has been described that the men should treat the women well from the beginning and any chance of disagreement should not be born. It will be very good for both of them. Neither any deed, nor any intention of any person is hidden from Allah Almighty. He is ever Aware of everything. As though, He guided the wife in this verse that she should sacrifice some wealth (even very less), and claimed from the husband that he should fear from Allah Almighty and treat his wife well. Betterment of relationship needs first priority.
